Tracking equipment

The Equipment section holds your fridges, freezers, ovens, dishwashers, and anything else worth tracking, along with its servicing, maintenance, and electrical safety records.

Adding equipment

  1. Go to Equipment and click Add Equipment

  2. Enter the name, type, and category

  3. Add make, model, serial number, and location

  4. Set a servicing schedule if it needs one

Adding fridges and freezers here also lets staff pick them from a list when logging temperature checks.

Servicing, maintenance, and PAT testing

  • Set a service date and frequency, and Paddl alerts you when it is due

  • Log maintenance records with the date, engineer, and findings

  • Track PAT testing for electrical safety, with its own expiry alerts

  • Attach manuals, service reports, and certificates to each item so they are easy to find

Linked to your food safety controls

Equipment can be linked to the CCPs in your HACCP plan. That connection means a fridge that goes offline or overdue for service can raise a food safety alert, not just a maintenance one.
